Volume 5, Chapter 52 – Some Things About Bai Lianyue’s Childhood, Ailiya Wants to Understand

“Ah wu~, finally back home~”

After returning to Xiwan City and settling back onto the sofa in her little house, the evil god miss let out a sigh of relief.

No matter what, home was still the place that gave her the most peace of mind, even though it was pitifully small compared to the Bai family courtyard.

After sighing once, Bai Lianyue looked somewhat helplessly at her side, at the White Horizon Sword that had returned to phone form.

“I really don’t know what to do with you… I’ve told you I won’t use other weapons. Was it necessary to be so dramatic?”

Recalling the scenes of the White Horizon Sword frantically chasing and slashing at the spirit tablet, Bai Lianyue couldn’t help but feel a headache coming on.

If she hadn’t promptly separated those two things, the Bai family might have been demolished again.

In response to Bai Lianyue’s question, the White Horizon Sword vibrated once, then directly bounced up from the sofa and drilled back into Bai Lianyue’s chest, falling silent.

It seemed to still be sulking?

Seeing this, the evil god miss sighed helplessly.

Her sword really was just like a child, extremely willful. She really didn’t understand whose personality template was used when creating her character simulation…

Well, that wasn’t important anymore.

What was important was…

What was the deal with that spirit tablet?

Recalling how the spirit tablet still desperately wanted to leap toward her even when Ailiya was dragging it away, the evil god miss couldn’t help but furrow her brow.

“Holy relic… what exactly is going on?”

That behavior shouldn’t have been from detecting the impure aura within me and wanting to eliminate me, right?

It clearly wanted to show affection toward me?

Rеaⅾ оո ΚаtReαԁіոgCаfе

Show affection toward me? Toward me, an evil god?

Was that for real…

Puzzled emotions continuously emerged from Bai Lianyue’s mind.

Could it be that the spirit tablet didn’t detect the curse power and impurity within me? Enmm, that’s not impossible…

But even if it didn’t detect that, there’s no reason for it to show affection toward me?

I don’t have Bai family bloodline?

I could barely understand it showing affection toward Ai’er, after all Augury Force is itself a kind of sacred aura. But being affectionate toward me??

—”Miss Elf, may I presumptuously ask… Are you, are you someone who serves the Lord?”—

Serves…

The Lord?

As Bai Shangxue’s questioning words echoed in her mind, the evil god miss’s expression became increasingly strange.

What relationship could I possibly have with the Lord?

However,

Come to think of it, Uncle Bai Xuansheng and the old patriarch also referred to the divine as ‘the Lord’… same as on Yao Xing… Could it be that earlier transmigrators brought the culture over?

Leaning silently against the sofa, the evil god miss pouted, quietly pondering.

While Bai Lianyue was thinking, a certain cute and beautiful silver-haired girl slowly walked out from the kitchen. It was none other than the ‘Bai family ancestor’~ Ailiya~ who had just returned with the evil god miss.

After touring the kitchen and coming to the living room, Ailiya directed her gaze toward the wall, toward the many old photos hanging on the wall.

Looking at these photos on the wall that recorded important moments during Bai Xingwu’s growth stages, Ailiya inexplicably felt a sense of sentiment.

“Bai Xingwu…”

After muttering quietly for a moment, Ailiya clenched her fists with both hands, looking excitedly toward the elf girl on the sofa, and said enthusiastically:

“Lianyue!! I’ll love Xingwu dearly!! Just like my own child!!”

“Mm?”

Hearing this, Bai Lianyue was stunned, then frowned somewhat puzzledly.

Love her like my own child?

That’s not right. It should be loving her like my own sister, right?

Also…

“Ai’er!! How can you call ‘Mommy’s’ name so casually again! Not good behavior!”

The evil god miss put her hands on her hips, pretending to be huffily angry.

Seeing this, Ailiya stuck out her tongue, responding quite perfunctorily:

“Oh~, Mommy~”

“You child…”

“By the way, speaking of which, Mommy…”

“Mm? What is it?”

“Your belly, has it gotten bigger again?”

Pointing at the evil god miss’s increasingly protruding belly, Ailiya asked curiously.

Hearing this, Bai Lianyue also directed her attention to her own belly. Lifting her hand to rub her stomach, a doting smile gradually appeared on the evil god miss’s face.

“Yes, Xingwu is growing quite fast~”

“Mm~”

Pursing her lips, Ailiya slowly climbed onto the sofa, crawling to Bai Lianyue’s side, gazing thoughtfully at the evil god miss’s belly.

Lifting her hand to rub Ailiya’s little head, Bai Lianyue said with a smile:

“Want to touch it? To greet your sist… enmm, and your older… that doesn’t seem right either… well, forget it… want to say hello to Xingwu?”

“Actually, we might have already greeted each other.”

At this moment,

Some strange images quietly echoed in Ailiya’s mind—images of her being entangled by black thorns around her feet and then flung away.

“Hm? What do you mean?” The evil god miss blinked in puzzlement.

“Nothing, nothing~”

Ailiya chuckled softly, shaking her head. Then the silver-haired girl proactively extended her hand, gently rubbing Bai Lianyue’s belly. Touching Lianyue’s big belly, but thinking that the child inside wasn’t hers…

An imperceptibly strange expression flashed across little Ailiya’s face.

Of course, Ailiya quickly suppressed this unusual expression.

“Mommy, what does it feel like after conceiving Xingwu?”

While feeling the warmth transmitted from the evil god miss’s abdomen, Ailiya asked gently.

Faced with this question, Bai Lianyue revealed a sweet and loving smile, lifting her hand to gently caress her belly.

“It feels quite magical… At first I wasn’t used to it, but now… I’m quite looking forward to it.”

“Looking forward to it?”

“Yes.”

Bai Lianyue nodded matter-of-factly:

“Before, when Nuoyu brought Xingwu to find me, that child was already six years old. Before that, I didn’t even know this child existed. From Xingwu’s birth until she was six, I wasn’t by her side… I’ve always felt quite regretful about that. And now, it seems I have a chance to make up for that regret.”

Although it was quite strange for her, a “grown man,” to have a gradually enlarging belly, Bai Lianyue was still quite looking forward to it in her heart.

“Absorb more nutrition and grow quickly~”

Soon,

We’ll be reunited.

Thinking of this, a happy smile gradually appeared on the evil god miss’s face.

Meanwhile, Ailiya silently took in this smile. While continuing to rub Lianyue’s belly, Ailiya cast her peripheral vision toward the photo wall nearby.

Looking at the intimate father and daughter in the photos, as well as that woman who appeared only a few times, Ailiya thoughtfully narrowed her eyes slightly.

“Hey, Mommy~”

“Mm? What is it, Ai’er.”

“Mommy, can you tell me more about your past?”

“My past?”

“Yes, Ai’er wants to understand Mommy better.”

Lying on Bai Lianyue’s thigh, Ailiya blinked her eyes, looking at Bai Lianyue in a cute, appealing manner.

If it were before, Bai Lianyue indeed wouldn’t want to bring up these past events (mainly because she couldn’t remember them clearly), but now that Ai’er was already involved, there seemed to be nothing left to hide.

“Alright, then what aspects does Ai’er mainly want to hear about?”

“Enmm~, things about Mommy’s childhood! Things between Mommy and Xingwu… and… things between Mommy and that Auntie Bai Nuoyu~”
